Frequently Asked Questions About Gluten-Free Pasta

How do you cook gluten-free pasta without it falling apart?

Use plenty of salted water (at least 1 liter per 100 g of pasta), don't add oil to the water, follow the time on the pack, and stir sparingly. Rummo gluten-free pasta holds its al dente bite perfectly without breaking down.

Which gluten-free pasta is better: corn, rice or buckwheat?

Each base gives a different texture. Rummo pasta blends corn and rice flour, giving it a texture closer to traditional wheat pasta. Buckwheat lends a more rustic, deeper flavor.

Can you make fresh gluten-free pasta at home?

Yes. Use a blend of gluten-free flours (Caputo Fioreglut or Nutrifree both work well), add egg, salt and a splash of oil. The dough will be more delicate than traditional pasta dough, but the results are surprisingly good.
